Terms and privacy
Last updated: October 28, 2026. Test version (beta).
In short
- Rutero is free for riders. We don’t sell your data.
- Your location is used in the moment: it’s only stored when you check in or add a place. We never store or show your live location.
- You can delete your account and all your data at any time from Settings.
- Don’t use your phone while riding. Stop to check in, add places or look at the app.
Terms of use
Using Rutero
You need an account to check in, earn points, add places and compete. Browsing the map and planning routes is free. You must be at least 16. You’re responsible for what you do with your account.
Safety on the road
Rutero’s information is added by riders and places: it may be incomplete, outdated or wrong (hours, prices, gas availability, road conditions). Check what matters before you go. Times and routes are approximate. Always follow traffic laws. Rutero doesn’t navigate and doesn’t replace your judgment on the road.
What you add
Places, photos, descriptions and votes you add must be real and your own. Made-up places, private homes, photos of people without their permission, offensive content and misleading ads are not allowed. By adding content you let us show it on Rutero while the service exists. If you delete your account, your photos are deleted; places other riders already visited stay on the map, without your name.
Points, medals and badges
They’re part of the game and have no cash value. They can’t be sold or transferred. We may correct them if we detect cheating (for example, fake locations). If in the future they can be redeemed for perks at participating places, each place sets the conditions of its perk.
Moderation
We may remove content that breaks these rules and suspend accounts that cheat or harass others.
Place accounts
Whoever creates or claims a place states that they manage it or have permission to. Seeing how many riders have your place on their route is free; we never show who they are or when they’re going.
Changes and warranties
Rutero is in testing and may change, have bugs or stop working. It’s provided “as is”. If we change these terms in an important way, we’ll let you know in the app. They’re governed by the laws of the Argentine Republic.
Privacy
What we store
- Account: your email, your password (encrypted, we never see it), your display name, language and preferences.
- Game activity: check-ins (place, time, GPS location and accuracy at that moment), places you add, photos, votes, medals, badges, points, friends, groups and saved routes.
- Photos: they’re shrunk on your phone before uploading and lose the camera data, including location.
- Notifications: if you turn them on, your browser’s technical address to send you notices.
- Origin: if you arrived through a link with a code (for example, from an ad), we store that code.
Why
To run the game (validate check-ins on the server and prevent cheating), show places and rankings, send the notices you chose, and improve the app with overall usage numbers.
Who sees what
- Everyone sees your display name on places you discovered and on medals.
- Your friends see your check-ins, places and badges (you can turn this off in Settings) and the ranking.
- Places only see how many riders have them on a route, never who.
- Nobody sees your email or your live location.
Who we work with
We store data with Supabase (servers in São Paulo, Brazil) and publish the app with Cloudflare. Maps, routes and place search are requested by your browser from map services (OpenStreetMap and similar). If you open a route in Google Maps or Waze, their own policies apply.
Your rights
You can see and correct your data in the app, and delete your account with all your data from Settings → Delete my account. For any request about your data (Argentine Personal Data Protection Law 25,326), contact us. The Agency for Access to Public Information is the supervisory authority in Argentina.
